"How are you feeling?" Zachary asks."Like I am losing my mind, but in a slow, achingly beautiful sort of way." (p.288)Funny, I felt the exact same way while reading this book. So, Erin Morgenstern's The Starless Sea is the highly anticipated follow up to The Night Circus (which, I admit, I haven't read). I won an ARC of this book from my library's summer reading program and, after reading the synopsis, I could not wait to jump in. I think that most people who read The Starless Sea will love it b...
〘 find other reviews on my blog 〙It’s a profoundly strange thing—to feel as though you are wading through superficially entertaining novels that pass through you like falling smoke, always searching for the one that will reach into the back alleys of your soul and settle into the bottom of you like fallen leaves.And then there it is, like a faint spark bobbing on a dark sea, calling you, beckoning.The sheer joy of it is like what all the books you’ve ever read have been aspiring to be, the s...
When I started reading The Starless Sea, I was blown away. I read through stories of pirates and girls in forests, of key holders and sword sellers, Fate, Time, the Moon, and some dude named Zach. The stories were intoxicating, like I was floating around in some hypnotic, dream-like daze, breathing in all of these beautiful short stories. They were beautifully written, imaginative little pieces of art, all smushed together and delicately held in place. But somewhere in my drunken haze, the magic...
Someone PLEASE procure me a striking, modern, big-city apartment with lots of windows, where I can hold a glass of expensive wine and gaze unseeing over the skyline at night, because apparently I’m going to feel melancholy for the rest of my life over never again being able to read this for the first time and if I’m going to do so I at least want to be glamorous about it.https://emmareadstoomuch.wordpress.co...Or, at the very least, I need to locate the sort of old-fashioned library described in...
I did not enjoy this at all. Pretentious, confusing and jumping through time to make no sense whatsoever..I feel like I wasted a reading week. All my anticipated releases have been flops this year.Now what is this book about? Honestly your guess is as good as mine. There was a hint of some love stories but they were so muddled into everything else that was pointless and made no sense so who knows. The plot got lost, the writing style was so saturated in metaphors and description I got bored and
This book is a love letter to stories and storytelling, myths and fables, symbols and imagination. This was haunting and magical, foreboding and whimsical in a way only Erin Morgenstern can achieve. This is a story in which something new can be discovered every time you read it. Breathtaking.

DNFed @ 56%THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE YEAR!The writing is so abstract that I couldn't take it anymore! And the problem is I expected that, I wanted that, but it was just SO MUCH!I'm so sad right now, I really wanted to love this 😭I feel this was a cheap copy of The Shadow of the Wind, even The Ten Thousand Doors of January to me was similar and better than this.I'm gonna crawl into a hole and cry myself to sleep now!
